Bitten: A Club Blood Erotic Short #1

By: Nicole Garcia

Narrated by: Kai Kennicott, Wen Ross

Length: 2 hrs and 13 mins

Publisher's Summary

Born into light, made to live in darkness, Caressa strives to keep her coven safe from the Hunters, a group of killers trained to eradicate the vampire population.

Now, it's up to Caressa to ensure the survival of not only herself, but her sisters as well. Together they must make difficult decisions to recruit more soldiers to help aid in the fight against the Hunters.

Everything is going according to plan. That is, until Noah walks into Club Blood.

His gorgeous body and infectious smile make him hard to resist. But, that's exactly what Caressa has to do - resist him. Avoid him at all costs because the moment she lets her guard down, he will surely claim her heart. A heart that is cold, dark, and incapable of giving someone like him the love he deserves.

Can Caressa deny herself the love she so desperately craves and turn away the only person capable of giving her everything she has ever wanted? Or will she give in to her heart's true desire and put her coven in even more danger than they already were?

4 Bite-able Stars

I received for and honest review
This is a first for me by this author and I am hooked. I love how the story doesn’t drag. Even being a short story it was full of all the meat you want when you need a back story and a present.
Caressa is a lonely vampire, who wants love but she is trying to keep her coven safe from hunters. She needs to keep her coven feed without making a big show of it. So they open a Club Blood. A night club where if you go home with a little less blood, you wouldn’t notice because you were too drunk to remember.

Caressa is also on the lookout for strong males to possibly turn to help/join her coven to protect them from the Hunters.
Noah is a delivery man who drops off a shipment of wine. He catches Caressa’s eye, and he hers. The first meeting makes me smile.
"I am so sorry I am such a spaz." LOVE it!
She fights the attraction because she feels like she would have to share him and she is so not cool with that.
Noah is lickalicious! The way Nicole describes him makes me want to be a fly on the wall when they have their first kiss holy flames!
When Caressa tells Noah what she is… his reaction …. priceless :)
Swoon “My Dark Angel”
Also Gia I love the girl she is part of the coven and her use of “Duh” makes me chuckle.

Great narration. Both male and female make you feel a part of the story. Wen's voice oh baby its smooth and perfect for how I imagine Noah's voice would be.

Bitten

Any additional comments?

This story is great and so steamy hot. I love the vampire women and how they learn to take care of each other. Caressa and Noah are so awesome.

Hottt!!!

This was an enjoyable read, and you feel the inner turmoil of the main character, as well as fall for her love interest. If you don't you're broken. He is sweet, sassy, and attractive. The narration adds so much to it! I have never heard such passion in an audio book before I heard these two's dual narration. It is deliciously hottt! Just pick up the story, and get Bitten!

Vamped out

Where does Bitten: A Club Blood Erotic Short #1 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Bitten is up at the top.I love a good vampire story and this one breaks stereotypes and has some steamy scenes.

What did you like best about this story?

I like how they get their HEA because that was her biggest fear since past experiences with male vamps proved that she'd never get the HEA she wanted.

Have you listened to any of Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes I love Kai and Wen and listen to anything they do. And just like others they were amazing

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I loved this book I haven't gone the supernatural route in awhile now I'm impatiently waiting for book 2

Any additional comments?

Amazing can't wait for book 2 great job Nicole Garcia

Short, sweet, and different

Any additional comments?

This book was well balanced with the story of the relationships and of being a vampire. It would have been a story even without the vampire aspect and I suspect it's set up for more to come. Overall, an enjoyable and entertaining read/listen. The narrators did a good job. I look forward to hearing more from both author and narrators.

So hot!!!

What did you love best about Bitten: A Club Blood Erotic Short #1?

I love it all this story is amazing and oh so hot.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Bitten: A Club Blood Erotic Short #1?

I have say when Caressa knows she can't not be without Noah takes him to her room to tell him everything.

Which character – as performed by Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross – was your favorite?

WOW all of them they were amazing and so made the story even hotter than reading it in my head.

Very different vampire story

What did you love best about Bitten: A Club Blood Erotic Short #1?

The story was much different than the typical vampire story...which I don't care for. Carissa was certainly not your typical vampire as she craved the human emotion of love and would go to the extreme of biting a human that she loved so he would be with her forever. Between the love story and the scenes in the secret nightclub, I thought that this was a great story.

Which character – as performed by Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross – was your favorite?

I really liked Noah. Aside from one outburst immediately after being converted to a vampire, he was a very nice and caring partner for Carissa. As for Kai' s voice as Noah, well, I can understand how the ladies would swoon! I also liked Wen' s portrayal of Carissa.

Any additional comments?

I have enjoyed Nicole Garcia's work and had previously read this story in e-book format and Enjoyed it. But add in the talent of these two narrators to some great writing and it made for a great listening experience.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Any additional comments?

These two narrators are amazing together hope to listen to more of the work and the book was totally awesomeness

Something different

The story was interesting and so were the voices that brought the characters to life. I loved the male's voice. I could listen to him all day. There was something about the woman's voice that didn't sit right with me. All in all, it was a dang good story. I did find myself wanting more.

Loved it!

Great, fast read! I've always been a fan of Nicole's writing, and this one did not disappoint.

Caressa is doing what she can to provide for herself and her vampire sisters after Hunters have taken out most of their kind. So she and her sisters open up Club Blood. An underground club for the humans to drink and party, and the vampires to have a source of food, with no killing. Noah arrives to make a delivery one night and Noah and Caressa are drawn to one another.

One of my favorites is the klutzy moments Noah has, especially the scene when he makes his delivery.

Now I just hope that there is a future book with Gia and Rhett.

Kai & Wen do I a fantastic job with the narration. Can't wait to listen to more of these two!

steamy!

This is a great but short sexy romance. I loved the characters and their chemistry I just wish it had been a full length story!
Brilliant narration!

Thumps up Nicole in writing this story that features a coven of female vampires. Fantastic story, wonderful storyline and impeccable narration with Kai and Wen.
Moving on to book two, Fallen need more of Club Blood Erotic.

You will love these vampires so much

Excellent storyline, I can see many more books coming from this covenant. The storyline is very intriguing. Well written, fantastic performance.

Draws you in!

Paranormal is not my normal listen, but this book by Nicole Garcia caught my eye. She always writes such good stories. What drew me to this particular book was the strong female presence. Caressa is a vampire and is in charge of her coven. There are no longer any male vampires, and she has taken on the responsibility of making sure the coven is safe. No time for feeding or her own needs, the human, Noah walks into her life. Instant attraction...but will he be able to deal with who she is? This story is full of passion and love, family and connections to each other, leaving you hungry for the next in the series.

Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross dual narrate this book. As always, their performance is stellar and brings you right into the vampire world.

paranormal love

It has been some time since last time I read/listened to a paranormal book. and i had forgotten about the intensity in the "love you eternally.."
some people will say it is abit to much. And it might is. But sometimes the dream of a one true love is just what you need. and this is what you get in this short story. the only problem there is. it is too short. I want more. Guess I have to start the next book in the series.
